As a celebration of being done bearing children, I've started running, and have set my goal on running the Golden Leaf, a half marathon that goes from Snowmass to Aspen. All of you that have visited here know that's all uphill. Yes, I might be a little insane. Running pushing 60 pounds worth of kids, plus a jogging stroller is great training. So far so good. This morning we(P,C and myself) ran 5 miles. Just 8 more to go!
An observation I've made is that in general people don't wave to me as I jog by. Maybe they think I'm listening to an ipod, or am deep in thought. (I'm not doing either.) Or maybe I look really intimidating huffing and puffing along pushing two cute little kids. I don't know. But I do know that when I'm walking, most people smile and wave or say hi. Funny.
I try to say to hi to all the people I pass. It's what keeps me going - that and the thought of someday losing that extra hip thing that grew on my legs without me noticing. You know the thing, the bump that is below my real hip that serves no purpose except to make me feel fat when wearing a bathing suit. Oh and the other day, Poppie gave me a hug from behind, and says, "Mommy, you have a wobbly bottom."

good for you! i keep saying i am going to start running again...but it hasnt happened on any type of a consistent basis. we did just get a nice jogging stroller and hazel actually likes to sit in it. i was hoping that would be the incentive to push me out the door. not yet. but you give me hope.
Tee, Thanks so much for the great chuckle! I may not be running, but I did start back to the gym this week!
